b) Resolution/21F5-7 Approving agreement for an uncontrolled
embankment at 180 Inkopah Street

RECOMMENDATION: That Council adopt the subject resolution and direct the

BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: Not applicable.
DISCUSSION:
Mr. Lawrence Green and Mr. James Leghorn applied for an uncontrolled
embankment permit on July 8, 1986, for 162 and 180 Inkopah Street in
accordance with Section 15. 04.285 of the City Code. This procedure is
necessary when earthwork has been done without soil testing or when no
compaction reports or other soil reports have been prepared and submitted to
the City. The intention is that a document will be recorded to warn
subsequent owners that this uncontrolled situation exists and that it may be
unsafe to erect structures over the area.
If it is desired to do such building later, the uncontrolled embankment
document must be rescinded by Council action. Justification for that action
is provided by soils analyses showing that the design of the structure
adequately addresses the existing soil conditions.
A plan for the uncontrolled embankment was submitted to the Engineering
Department and a review of these plans show they substantially conform to
normal engineering practice. The proposed embankment is filling a depression
in the rear yards.
Based on the findings herein, it is recommended that the agreement for the
uncontrolled embankment be approved with the following conditions in
accordance with Section 15.04.285 of the City Code.
1 . The land development work shall be designated as uncontrolled embankment
and shall be constructed in accordance with plans approved by the City
Engineer.

2. The owner acknowledges that as an uncontrolled embankment, the site is not
eligible for a building permit unless special soils analysis and
foundation design are submitted.
3. The land development work shall be done and maintained in a safe and
sanitary manner at the sole cost, risk, and responsibility of the owner
and his successors in interest, who shall hold the City harmless with
respect thereto.
FISCAL IMPACT: None.
